Abstract (en)

[origin: US4679527A] A magnetic brush developer includes a magnetic brush roll having a magnet assembly which includes a development magnet, positioned at the nip between the magnetic brush roll and a photoconductive surface, at least one transport magnet and a pre-nip magnet arranged between the development magnet and the transport magnet adjacent the development magnet and so spaced from the transport magnet so as to create a tangential field therebetween. A mix barrier is arranged between the transport magnet and the pre-nip magnet to limit the flow of developer mix from a supply source to the developer nip. This combination enables the maintenance of stable flow rates and pressures of the developer mix at the development zone with non-critical tolerancing of the mix barrier.
